Tied with a Vow

"Here is the new chapter! 💕

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"You held me like I was yours."

Penthouse — Jimin's Room, Disaster Central

A pipe burst.

Water everywhere.

And of course, Jungkook's maintenance team wouldn't arrive until morning.

"You can sleep in my room," Jungkook said stiffly, arms crossed.

Jimin blinked. "Wait. With you?"

"There's only one bed."

"Then I'll take the couch."

"No, you'll take the bed," Jungkook snapped. "I'm not letting you break your neck trying to look noble."

"Wow," Jimin muttered. "Chivalry and a death glare. How lucky am I?"

Master Bedroom — Midnight

They lay side by side. Tension. Space between them. Like the mattress was a war zone and neither dared cross the line.

Jimin lay on his back, staring at the ceiling. "You always this uptight when someone's in your bed?"

"I don't let people in my bed."

"...Oh."

Silence.

"I don't sleep well," Jungkook added suddenly. "Too quiet. Too much in my head."

Jimin turned onto his side, facing him. "Want me to talk until you knock out?"

"I don't need a lullaby."

"You kinda do," Jimin teased.

And without meaning to—without really thinking—he reached out and gently brushed Jungkook's bangs off his forehead.

Jungkook froze.

Their eyes met.

"You're warm," Jimin whispered.

"You're dangerous," Jungkook replied just as softly.

3:14 AM — Sleep Takes One, Not Both

Jungkook woke up in the dark to find Jimin curled into him.

An arm around his waist. Legs tangled. Jimin's nose tucked under his chin like it was his favorite pillow.

He should've pushed him away.

He didn't.

Instead, Jungkook exhaled slowly, wrapped an arm around Jimin, and held him closer. Carefully.

Reverently. Like he didn't want to wake him. Like he never wanted to let go.

Morning — Sunlight, Silence, Realizations

Jimin woke up to find himself still wrapped around Jungkook like a damn koala.

"...Morning," Jimin mumbled, pulling back groggily.

Jungkook didn't move. Just looked at him.

"You held me all night," Jimin said.

"You held me first."

"But you didn't let go."

A pause. Jungkook's eyes dropped to Jimin's lips, then back up again.

"You held me like I was yours," Jimin whispered.

Jungkook swallowed. "You are."

The silence cracked like lightning.

Jimin smiled. Just a little. "Say that again when you're awake next time."

"I am awake."

"Then do something about it."

Jungkook sat up, heart pounding. "If I do, you won't sleep tonight."

Jimin laughed. "Promises, promises."
